Thanks....

Several years ago I wrote a poem. This poem is how I feel about all those people who helped to raise me. I know that I was not the easiest child to deal with but I really appreciate those that loved me for who I was, saw the potential of what I could become, helped me become what I am, and stood by me through it all. 

A NOTE OF THANKS

To all the people in my life
who've been there all along
who've been with me through everything
and taught me to be strong

THANKS

Thanks for giving me support 
and offering suggestions
Thank you for accepting me 
with all my imperfections

Thanks for lending me a hand
when in a time of need
Thanks for telling me I can 
it's helped me to succeed

Thank you for encouraging me 
when I have had my doubts
Thanks for helping me to see
I'm worth it and I count

Now that I am on my own
and much more independent
I give to you a note of thanks
and with my love I send it.
